Openly queer, she challenged conceptions of gender and sexuality in her art, which also served as her refuge. While many of her male counterparts were disfiguring and cubing their subjects—often women—Brooks gave personhood and power to the figures she painted. Her frank approach to her complicated relationship with her mother, faith, wealth, sexuality, and gender is complemented by a keen wit that echoes the gray tones of her work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h-5\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-black-100 text-sm md:text-md\"\u003eThough her paintings are held in major collections, Brooks’s influence in modernist circles of the early twentieth century is largely underexplored. This new publication, guided by Brooks’s own impressionistic musings, bridges an important gap between the art and the artist. An introduction by Lauren O’Neill-Butler explores Brooks’s role as an artist in the early twentieth century through the lens of gender and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-black-100 text-sm md:text-md\"\u003ePublished by David Zwirner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59131501543758,"sku":"9781644230824","price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0167\/9794\/files\/strange.jpg?v=1773488205","url":"https:\/\/www.theimmashop.com\/products\/strange-impression","provider":"IMMA Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
